Gtk does not use the native win32 controls.  There's a theme that apparently
does use the native controls, but I've heard that it's slow.  So it's not
the toolkit to choose right now if native look and feel is an overriding
concern.

The latest version fixes some bugs, but the win32 port is still not very
mature, and does not have as large a community of testers as the unix
version.
